‘Dallas’ renewed for second season

The “Dallas” reboot that premiered earlier this month to strong ratings on TNT has been renewed for a second season, EW.com reports.

The network has ordered another 15 episodes for a second season to air next year.

“Dallas,” which chronicles a new generation of Ewings and life on the Southfork Ranch while maintaining some of the characters from the 1980s original, has averaged 6.9 million viewers weekly since its June 13 debut.

At the helm of the reboot is executive producer Cynthia Cidre, who developed the new series and wrote some of its episodes. Cidre, a Cuban American writer and producer, lists “The Mambo Kings” and the short-lived TV drama “Cane” among her credits.
